The things I've tried:I've attempted to change the ownership of the drive, it responds with "media is write protected" and references several video filesI've attempted changing permissions of what users can change under properties/security from "read & execute / list folder contents / read" and adding full control and/or modify and/or write and am met with "the media is write protected". I've attempted "attributes clear readonly" through cmd on the drive with no successI've tried using the registry editor / storagedevicepolicies / DWORD
